The right thing to do, IMHO
However I’m prepared to bet they will just go under the counter like the cigarettes in the various Eastern European stores.
Still wombling here at the moment, all picked up off the streets of Hereford
The numbers are astonishing :
500mAh 13350 - 48 usable cells
others, various - 18 usable cells (largest is 23350 @ 1750mAh)
damaged or too low to charge - about a dozen more
I also reworked my FT-817 cell pack with a 3d-printed holder, much nicer than the first effort ! I have made 2 of these, plus a carry case, and have the spare cells to make 2 more if needed !
Cheers
